Church Web Coach

Mark's training was informative, insightful, but more importantly impactful. In a couple of weeks, I have increased my connection with others more than ten times through the tips given to me in the training. I highly recommend Mark if your organization wants to be effective in reaching it's target group and constituents.

I've used Mark Weible to optimize several websites with great results.
Not only is he proactive in handling my SEO needs, but he's always on
the cutting edge of what search engines are doing and in doing so keeps
my sites on the forefront of search best practices. Mark's handled
everything from managing my Adwords account, SEO, and even managing our advertising campaign on Facebook. Highly Recommended! Crull Chambless - Immerseme Web Development

Coaching for Pastors, Churches and Non-Profits

It is all about relationships. Let me say it again, it is all about relationships. How can you expect to spread the good news to people who don't know you? How do you expect to see life change happen in people who haven't had a chance to experience your love? Mass marketing was all about trying to get people to buy-in to something without having to take the time to get to know them. It doesn't work that way anymore.

You can't avoid getting into people's lives and letting them get into you. All that you do must be transparent, authentic and worthy to be passed on to others. You can do your slick speil, but who is going to believe you?
It is all about relationships. Did I say that already? They will believe you if they know you and see God working in your life. Jesus said, "...let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." He did not say, "Get slick, I mean really slick and sell people what they want to hear." But he did say, "Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them." So, how do people see your light, if you hide your charitable acts? Only if they know you and know you well. It is all about relationships.

I am in the process of writing a book on digital marketing for churches to be released by Renovate Publishing Group in January, 2015. The book is about how churches can use the internet, social media and smartphones to connect with people, create community, share the gospel, and develop disciples of Jesus. Here are the chapters that I've written so far...

Kaleo apps offers an affordable smart phone and tablet app for churches. What I like about Kaleo is that they don't charge any up-front development fees, their turn around time is quick and their admin is user-freindly. Their apps come pre-loaded with tons of cool features and they also offer online giving via your church's app or website.

Don't you love those new html5 websites that automatically re-size to fit your mobile and tablet screen size? These are much better than having multiple versions of the same website designed for various platforms. How would you like to get one of these websites for free?
